Nashville police raided a house where they found several hundred bags and jars of illegal hallucinogenic mushrooms and arrested two men for felony drug possession.

Police said in a news release Friday that an investigation by their narcotics unit led them to a home in southern Davidson County. Investigators raided the home of 41-year-old Christopher Coxey and found 394 bags of mushroom spores, 899 jars of mushroom spores, 12 jars of processed mushrooms, syringes with mushroom spores and six guns.
